We stayed here once before and the room left much to be desired. however we enjoy San Felipe. This is the only Beach Front hotel running that is within a short walk to the main strip of town by the sea. San Felipe like much of Mexico has lost the majority of its tourism over the past several years because... More

It's unfortunate, but we finally just left after two nights in this beachside hotel. There was no hot water at all throughout our stay. We asked maid services for washcloths numerous times every day, but they never delivered. The toilet leaked from the bottom and covered the bathroom floor with some really smelly water and the room stank from it.... More

The good part is the amazing beach front location never crowded, the staff is nice and helpful, the exterior is well maintained. The bed was comfortable but not a pillow top. The bad part the web site says $70 a night but the front counter insist this is wrong and the actual price is $80 per night. This is a... More

This is the best San Felipe has to offer. It is an average hotel but has a nice beach right in front. Pool, bar, restaurant, safe parking and u can walk to town. All you need when planning to go to SF..

San Felipe was a 6 hour drive for us from Orange County, CA. If was a quick drive with no incident and we felt safe the whole way. Heading to San Felipe was based on a recommendation from a neighbor and WE LOVED IT. Why did we love it? 1) Best Hotel location - right on the beach (Highly recommend... More

The room was big the grounds were pretty clean, but the linens were the kind that you didn't want touching your face when you sleep and the pool was packed for several days straight and not well cleaned and kept so by day 3, I was...

After a disapointing look at the Baja Palms where we were supposed to stay for our free trip through Eve Travel Service (The Lion Travel Service, Down Under Promotions), we wound up at El Cortez. Very nice hotel, outstanding staff, very friendly, and the food in the restaurant is great! Reasonable rates year round, walking distance to town, the people... More

A bit further from the malecon than I'd hoped, but close enough to walk (only on the beach, though). Restaurant is great, not expensive, and you can sit outside overlooking the Sea and San Felipe beachfront. The bar is okay, but we preferred the ones in the "tourist" area. They had a folklorico dance contest in the middle of the... More
